When you haven't lived with a man for a long time, you forget about their annoying habits. Now I live with not one, but TWO men! I have two male roommates and we share a bathroom. This creates household wars and horrors! The women in the house argue that the men should always put the toilet seat down after they pee. The men say "why!?!, just push it down when you need to sit!" What is the proper etiquette? :) Men, do you put the toilet seat down after you pee? I beg you to please do it if you share a bathroom with a woman. I can hardly describe the feeling of being half asleep, crawling out of a warm bed in the middle of the night, entering a dark bathroom and sitting down only to discover the toilet seat is up. Suddenly you fall into the bowl and your ass is splashed with cold water! Instant alarm clock! :)) It looks something like this....

Yes, this is a First World problem for sure, but a serious one. :) And there is another mystery of the universe. Why do even grown men sometimes miss the bowl and pee on the floor when they're standing up? Is that thing in your pants so difficult to control? :))

It's hysterical! I was blessed with men that always kept the sit down(all of them were cleaning their bathrooms themselves so they usually were very careful and clean with it :)) So I'm a spoiled brat he, he....

The thing is reaaaally difficult to control in the mornings.As it looks everyrthere above the horizon but never into the bowl for at least half an hour after one awakens.On behalf of the male readers...Sorry for the mess. We just can not really control it, ;)

My two men (husband and son) seat on the toilet no matter what the purpose, lol. It's more hygenic and nothing humiliating for man. And they are both cleaning toilets time to times, so they are also interested in less "drops and spills around", hehe...lucky me. Sure no seating in public places where no one would seat on a toilet:))

Men ask "why?" for a reason. As it's inconvenient for women to put the seat down - it's exactly same inconvenient for men to raise the seat up. But we do and don't make a big deal out of it. Only women can't stop complaining. Why?

I can hardly describe the feeling entering a dark bathroom, ready to pee over yourself, only to discover the seat is down, and you have to feel for it and raise it! Or would you prefer your man just peeing like it is, splashing all over the seat? :)

Why would a woman want the toilet seat up? It serves no purpose for females. But if they are willing to abide by their husband's choice, then sure it's okay. They will know the seat is up, and not be surprised as I often am. :) Relationships are all about compromise. :)

> Why do even grown men sometimes miss the bowl and pee on the floor when they're standing up?From my experience of living with male roommates - this can happen when they are drunk. As for keeping the toilet seat down I can't understand men either. What is the difference where to pee? If you are accurate enough you won't spoil both the toilet and the seat, if you are not - you'll have to clean in any case (or the toilet, or the seat).So I think toilets should be once and for all made with unmovable seats ;)))

I am living with two women, my girlfriend and her daughter, and now I put it down always. But my darling asked me about this in past, because I used to never did it before. It is a kind of courtesy, I think. It's true, women often visit rest room in half asleep state.But when I was in the United States, my colleague said, laughing, an ad in the toilet for women: "If you want to do it standing, like a horse, please raise the seat to give others a chance" (I'm not sure that the correct spelling of course). So it's not problem of shared toilet with men only, is it?

If the woman does not say anything, then it isn't an issue. But I have asked them to put it down, and they refuse. It is like a battle of the sexes in the house. :)) They do it mostly because they know it annoys me, and they find it humorous. It's like in elementary school or high school, where boys always pick on girls they secretly like. :))
